Hi
You must show to a orthopedic doctor for complete examination of knee and evaluation.Sometimes cruciate ligaments,menscii (cartilages) are implicated and can be ruled out by an MRI.If some finding, then specific treatment may be indicated- continuing to walk without proper evaluation may be a bit risky to miss something which may not be healthy in long term.
A of now, refrain from ong walk ,swimming till evaluation is done by an orthopedic doctor
